Cortical and Striatal Functional Connectivity in Juvenile-Onset Huntington’s Disease by Amy Barry, Peg C. Nopoulos

“…Methods: Participants included children and young adults with clinician-confirmed Juvenile-Onset Huntington’s Disease (JoHD; <i>n</i> = 19) and gene-non-expanded (GNE) controls <i>(n</i> = 64), both drawn from longitudinal studies at the University of Iowa. Resting-state functional MRI scans were analyzed to assess canonical cortical network and striatal connectivity, and linear mixed-effects models tested group differences and associations with motor, cognitive, and clinical outcomes. …”

Optimization of microencapsulation of green tea extract for functional beverage development by Elizaveta Kochubei, Igor Lomovskiy, Oleg Lomovsky, Jibek Baktybekova, Vyacheslav Koptev, Anastasia Andreeva, Anna Matveeva, Alexander Vorobyov, Aml A. Tantawy, Mohamed Hamdy Eid, Tamer M. El-Messery, Elena Bychkova

“…Based on the analysis of rheological properties, the optimal ratio of hydrocolloids was established as 40:60 (gum arabic:maltodextrin). Mathematical modeling was used to optimize the ingredient composition of the additive, revealing that the optimal ratio of shell material to core material was 80:20.In the development of functional beverages using the additive, various liquid food bases were tested, including neutral (water, apple juice) and tart berry beverages. …”

Association Between Perioperative Hypotension and Graft Function in Kidney Transplantation by Steven A. Morrison, Aran Thanamayooran, Karthik Tennankore, Amanda J. Vinson

“…Using multivariable logistic regression, we assessed the association of intraoperative hypotension (IOH; systolic blood pressure (sBP) ≤ 90 mm Hg within the final hour of surgery) and postoperative hypotension (POH; occurring within the first 2 postoperative days) with delayed graft function (DGF). In secondary analyses, we used adjusted logistic regression or Cox proportional hazards models to assess the impact of hypotension on prolonged length of stay (LOS), death-censored graft loss (DCGL), and all-cause graft loss (ACGL). …”
